Did Kavanaugh's father advocate for a product that he knew was carcinogenic to mothers and fetuses?

Interesting, a case that he may or may not recuse himself on, at some point.

Now that Justice Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed by the Senate, sooner or later he may be asked to weigh some damning evidence — that his own father advocated for a product that he knew was carcinogenic to both mothers and fetuses. Unless he recuses himself.

The ironies are piquant: While the son attended private, single-sex religious schools and adopted the traditional Catholic opposition to abortion, and even birth control, on the grounds the government should regulate women’s use of their own bodies and reproduction, the father made millions from the industry that marketed and sold female personal hygiene products — while keeping the government from guarding the consumers’ health and safety.

More than 10,000 active claims in U.S. courts, mostly by women, allege that they got cancer from regular use of talcum products like baby powder. In one case last summer, a jury in Missouri awarded $4.7 billion to a group of 20 such women who sued the biggest manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson — for promoting its products while hiding evidence of the risks to women, their reproductive organs, and their babies.

Sooner or later, one of these cases is likely to come to the Supreme Court. If he fails to recuse himself, Justice Brett Kavanaugh will be asked to consider evidence that his father, Ed, helped J&J market such products — even though they knew they were carcinogenic. Kavanaugh Sr.’s former employer is one of the named defendants in some of the biggest class-action cases filed so far.

And Brett Kavanaugh may yet have to answer tough questions about his own finances — including a down payment on a million-dollar house, and how he paid credit card and other debts: He refused to disclose the source of those funds that came from “within the family” soon after his father received several million dollars from the companies sued in the talc-cancer cases.

1. I bet he won't recuse himself

Just like Kobach and Kemp, both Secretaries of State for their own states, are not recusing themselves from their duties as Secretary of State as they run for Governor. There's a Democratic SoS in another state who is also not recusing herself as well, so...

But Kobach and Kemp have already shown themselves to be wholly corrupt.

2. So many women in the fifties and were told that body powder was essential for "personal daintiness"

It was just the thing I to puff between one's legs to avoid any nasty dampness. They talk around it in these articles, but l have no doubt that was exactly how it migrated to the cervix uterus and fallopian tubes to cause cancer years later.
